Division 145.A.37 Airworthiness review staffF1

In order to be approved to carry out airworthiness reviews and to issue the corresponding airworthiness review certificates (ARC) for aircraft covered by Annex Vb (Part-ML), the organisation must have airworthiness review staff that comply with all of the following requirements:

1. 1.

   they have acquired experience in continuing airworthiness of at least 1 year for sailplanes and balloons and of at least 3 years for all other aircraft;

2. 2.

   they hold a certifying staff authorisation for the corresponding aircraft;

3. 3.

   they have acquired knowledge of Annex I (Part-M), Subpart C, or of Annex Vb (Part-ML), Subpart C;

4. 4.

   they have acquired knowledge of the procedures of the maintenance organisation relevant to the airworthiness review and issue of the airworthiness review certificate.

Before the organisation issues an airworthiness review authorisation to a candidate, that candidate must perform an airworthiness review under the supervision of the CAA or under the supervision of a person that is already authorised as airworthiness review staff by the organisation. If this airworthiness review under supervision is satisfactory, the CAA may formally accept that candidate to become airworthiness review staff.

The organisation must ensure that the airworthiness review staff can demonstrate appropriate recent continuing airworthiness experience.
